[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 6761474, member: 6788736"] Dude Paladins do not have to be good. The PHB has examples of non good paladins. Have you suggested the Oathbreaker Paladin (its in the DMG) who is exclusively evil? Most Vengance paladins would struggle to avoid being LE depending on how fanatical they were in their beliefs. My Paladin worships Bane and is as LE as they come. (He doesnt think he's evil however). Been playing since BECMI and it feels OK to me. We got past halfling monks and dwarven Wizards, we can get past this too. Two words: Darth Vader. As Chaotic evil as they come (after the Joker). He betrayed, turned on or abandoned: [LIST] [*]His mother [*]The Jedi [*]His wife and children [*]His master and best friend [*]The Republic [*]The Sith (several times) [*]Lando Calrissian [*]The Empire [*]The Emperor (his second master) [/LIST] Thats literally everyone he knows. He killed and betrayed both masters (Obi wan and the Emperor), destroyed both orders of force users to which he belonged (the Jedi and the Sith) and was responsible for the downfall of both the Empire and the Republic while ostensibly working for them. Also: For a fantastic example of a CE Paladin code, look a the Sith code (take what you can and betray your master when you are strong enough to destroy him) and the Rule of Two (which despite being thier only rule, most Sith broke all the time anyways). Following a code that promotes chaos isnt itelf a lawful act. [/QUOTE]
